Why are married people so boring?

So Emily and I have had the opportunity to Have my friend Dave Burgess over to our house several times since he moved up here and I have come to the conclusion that we are boring. I would say that he ends up falling asleep while with us about 3 out of 5 times he comes over. And the odds increase the longer he stays. Now in our defense Dave isn't very good at staying awake through anything, I have watched him fall asleep during a temple wedding several times. But I do feel for the most part we are boring.

We usually sit by ourselves at church, I think it's because we are considered the old grumpy couple and we really have nothing in common with the younger folks in our ward... they should have a ward for those of us who waited until they were 24 and need 6-7 years to finish our bachelors. I have considered trying to keep up with the current fashions but I am pretty sure I would look terrible in skinny leg jeans, plus I need things to flow off of me when running to the bathroom (this is a common Roska boy problem). The white rimmed glasses would make me look more like a bug than I already do and red is as about as bright as I will go.

I have also considered joining some sort of league but I have found I am not willing to give up some of my favorite shows to be a part of said leagues. I want to put in a very minimum effort but I want really good results. Does anybody have any ideas for us and no, I am not willing to give up The Office, Earl, Heroes, The Big Bang Theory, The Biggest Loser, AFV or Wrestling so that is pretty much Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings.

Dont cry for me Argentina

I must make this request before I blog. I don't want anybody telling me how bad this sucks. I already know. I had to take a test this semester before I could take Stats 1040. I took the test several times and studied as hard as I could but I wasn't able to pass it. I needed to get into stats so I could apply for my major this semester and since I did not get in I am not able to apply for a full year so I have to take a year off of school. So I am taking this semester off and I will return in the spring and take a full load of classes and I will then take stats in the summer and take the following fall semester off as well. It's ok I feel fine it was hard to accept but I am willing to take it. It means I have more time with my wife and we get to go on another vacation this winter so it will all work out. so if you must cry I understand but know we are both doing well and we look forward to the time together
